The Philipponnat 500y Anniversary Case, containing Cuvée 1522 L.V. 2000, Cuvée 1522 L.V. 2002, and Léon 2014, is a prestigious collection of vintage Champagnes from Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, crafted by Philipponnat to celebrate 500 years of winemaking. The 1522 L.V. 2000 and 2002, blending 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay from Grand Cru vineyards, offer mature, complex profiles with dried fruit, truffle, and brioche notes, with vibrant acidity and long finishes after 15-20 years of lees aging. Léon 2014, likely a Pinot Noir-dominant cuvée, displays ripe apple, spice, and minerality, with a fresher, structured palate. Each displays a golden hue with fine bubbles. With low dosages (4-6 g/L), they reflect exceptional vintages and chalky terroirs. Perfect with caviar, lobster, or aged cheeses, this case is a luxury for collectors. Drinking beautifully now, they can age further, developing richer notes. This anniversary case showcases Philipponnat’s heritage, offering refined Champagnes for enthusiasts seeking prestige and history.
